My lungs burn like I’ve been breathing smoke all night. Sweat sticks to my skin, the sheets tangled around me like ropes. For one second, I almost expect to see fire again — those flames crawling up the palace walls, that boy’s cold blue eyes staring through them.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PEDrdaktw

But there’s no fire now.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQSRiEb16E

Just sunlight.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVOfWtdVxd

Warm, quiet, golden sunlight spilling through silk curtains that don’t belong in my room.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadnhcTF9MW

I sit up fast. My head spins.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4YBR6jieF

Everything’s too… perfect. Too expensive. The air smells like lavender and something faintly metallic.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qsfcnyka4

The image hits me so hard I almost gag — her body on the floor, the nobles screaming, his hand, the knife. And then… me, blurting out something insane just to save him.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVgZ1pzQ7M

I drag my knees up to my chest and bury my face in them. “What the hell did I just do?”171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVTyaWt2gE
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn6xBeHGNn
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2sVgyzgvb
No answer. Just birds chirping outside, like the universe doesn’t care that someone got murdered last night.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57jt7Kymj2

I glance around the room again — huge, pale marble floors, carved furniture, and a mirror taller than me.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIPCC8YWS0
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8kY70lY0N
A stranger’s reflection stares back — long black hair, soft white dress, bare feet.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIn2divmsL

My stomach twists. “Okay,” I mutter to myself, “so this is still happening. I didn’t dream the dream. Fantastic.”171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8jR9YQEtP

I press a hand to my forehead, trying to breathe. The air’s too heavy, like the whole room’s watching me.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOfM3GzMXC

Somewhere outside, a bell rings. Footsteps echo down the corridor. Servants. Life going on like nothing happened.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHHPNlRVf3

I whisper, “Clara’s dead. And I’m still here.”171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYLKPcuD0V

The words taste wrong. Bitter.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmCHNxgXbs

Then a colder thought creeps in — slow, dangerous.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQxb2sZPDi

I can still see his face — that blank calm, the blue in his eyes when he looked at me like he’d seen me before.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT30tZcMHlG

I grip the blanket tighter. “Who even are you?” I mutter, voice shaking. “And why do I feel like… I know you?”171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm7lh5Rmpu

I fall back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ftvqdebY6

My throat feels dry, my brain a mess of too many questions and zero logic.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU64qiybA1I
